hamburg is apparently the best city in germany..better than berlin and berlin is a very cool place

well... Berlin might be cooler, but HH is definitely more beautiful with all the water and so much "green" in the city, and its not so huge

I just watched a video of the city on that page, looks like a lovely place...can't wait to explore it fully

 

[Lucretia]

LOL
just watched this video as well... pretty cheesy, and I´m wondering where they found all the sun
But you are right, it can be really lovely here when the sun is shining, and usually in August it does shine

hehehe yeah i'm sure a video of where I lived would be cheesy too but you might like it

I challenge you to a drunken rowboat race!

 

[Lucretia]

of course, cheesy holiday country´s videos are always nice

Drunken rowboat race?? Oh no... LOL... I´m not good in rowing
But we could have a drunken tour on the Elbe river with one of these ferrys, thats pretty popular anyway

 

[Sec]

ok guess i'll be doing all the rowing, you can be the drunken backseat driver

they have a bar on the ferry? sounds great!

 

[Lucretia]

OK, being the drunken backseat driver sounds fine for me

And yes, I guess they are selling beer at those ferries, but we always bring our own drinks and sit outside on the deck... thats cheaper

you can bring your own booze? wow they would never let us do that in my country

I wonder what evil beer I can find in Germany, can't wait to be able to drink Grimbergen again...that stuff is pure alcoholized evil

so what is it you do for a living anyway?

 

[Lucretia]

yeah, I guess sometimes its in Germany pretty easy handled with booze and stuff
But wasn´t it in Australia where you could bring your own drinks to restaurants? Have heard such a thing some time ago...

Grimbergen? Whats that? Don´t know that stuff at all, is it German?

What I´m doing? Well I´m a stupid web-/screendesigner, working as a freelancer, thats why I´m hanging around always in the net
But I have to admit that there isn´t too much work for me at the moment anyway...
And you? Isn´t it pretty late in the night at the moment at your place?

yeah 10pm, I'm another professional computer nerd, I do tech support for a company that handles the gambing in my state...its pretty easy and it pays the bills (and the european holiday!)

Grimbergen is a belgian beer, it's about 10% alcohol...family brought me back some from europe last year and i've been waiting to get my hands on some again soon

some restaraunts here you can bring your own alcohol (BYO) but not for most places as they like you to spend your cash on their overpriced goods

 

[Lucretia]

only 10 pm? I thought it´d be later
anyway, we don´t have this BYO thing at all... sounds cool to me anyway
So are you going to Belgium as well or do I have to take you to some beer speciality shops?

 

[Sec]

yeah everything should be BYO, I would drag a sack of booze wherever I went

no I don't think ill visit Belgium, there are too many good breweries there and I might end up drowning in a fermentation tank

I'm visiting a friend in Cologne, then on to Wacken/Hamburg, I want to see Berlin, Nuremberg, Munich and then im going to stay with an Austrian friend and then fly to England for 10 days, and wage totalcoholocaust there
